Don't cry [Nu plânge]
Don't cry for I deny your face,
And that I leave you do not cry...
The time has come to change my place,
The time has come to say goodbye.
A chain is breaking, which was strong,
As if a thread were teared by force;
When fate seems terrible and wrong,
In vain you try to change its course.
And nothing in the world around
Can bring us back what was before
And the sweet love, true and profound,
That we two shared in days of yore.
Goodbye, you'll be alright, I know,
Your soul will fly like a white dove...
New lovers come when old flames go
And you'll forget my fervent love.
poem by Veronica Micle, translated by Octavian Cocoş
